Sterling Archer Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 It always seems like there's new threads about new threads so I figured a Superthread might be popular. I'd hope this could be used to ask for advice, post recommendations or let others know about deals. With that in mind, I'm in need of a new jumper that I can wear to the office over a shirt. A lot of the ones I've bought in the past haven't held up after a couple of washes so looking for something that might last a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like John Smedley for jumpers - they're quite expensive but you occasionally see them in tk maxx. For cheaper jumpers, Uniqlo's merino knits are good value for the money. About ?30, decent quality and last well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK Maxx is the dug's if you have a good eye and a little patience. Last time i was in they had quite a few ralph lauren v necks. The decent colours were in dodgy sizes though and the decent sizes where lemon yellow and lime green Think you just need to be lucky in tk max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky999 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 TkMaxx have clothing specially made for there stores, there was a documentary on a while ago that lifted the lid on this, the quality they sell is no where near the standard that you would get from from some of the designer names that sell in big name stores.

The People's Chimp Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Those brogues are very nice. Looks like a slightly slimmer profile to the Loakes I bought recently. Reckon you could wear them with a suit? Mine could only go with a wool suit, something a bit 'rougher' than normal, I think. I bought a lovely jumper in Reiss just before Christmas, not sure I'd be washing it all the time, so dunno if it could be called hard wearing, but you should have a look in there. I actually managed to find a nice lambswool sweater in Topman, worth an occasional look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling Archer Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 I haven't actually got them yet, wasn't planning to wear them with a suit as I think you're probably right. Will have a look, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Smedley are the best you can get. However a bit pricey for everyday wear. Pop into Debenhams. The Jasper Conran merino jumpers are a good fit and quality. Nice compact V as well, not the wizards sleeve you can get with some cheaper ones.

Sten Guns Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Vivienne Westwood. Classy & quality. Post Xmas sales they were half price in Cruise and Harvey Nichols. Maybe a bit too dear for everyday wear though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
